By Otto Heidemann and Herbert Osborn.^ 

 Suborder HEMIPTERA-HOMOPTERA. 



Family FULGORIDM. 

 Subfamily DICTYOPHARINiE. 

 Genus Dictyophara Germar. 



I. D. recurvirostris Stal. (Osborn det.) 



One specimen taken at McKinley, July 24. The reference to this 

 species is made in spite of the fact that the only individual at hand^ 

 differs slightly from the description. (2) 



1 The Editor of the Annals of the Carnegie Museum, who is also the Curator 

 of Entomology in that institution, has decided to attribute the following list jointly 

 to Mr. Otto Heidemann and Dr. Herbert Osborn. When it had been determined to 

 publish an account of the collection of Rhynchota made on the island by Mr. 

 Link, a rough preliminary classification according to families was made by the 

 writer and his assistant, Mr. Hugo Kahl. The specimens were then submitted to 

 Mr. Otto Heidemann, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the U. S. National 

 Museum, for final study and identification. The greater portion of the Hemiptera- 

 Heteroptera had been already identified by Mr. Heidemann when his labors were 

 interrupted by his untimely death. Part of the Hemiptera-Homoptera had also 

 been determined by Mr. E. H. Gibson, who was associated with Mr. Heidemann. 

 At the suggestion of Mr. Gibson, and with the concurrent advice of Dr. L. O. 

 Howard, the collection was turned over to Dr. Herbert Osborn, of the Ohio State 

 University, with the request that he would report upon them. This he kindly 

 consented to do, and a list of identifications with notes has been recently received. 

 In its final form the present writer is responsible for the arrangement of the paper 

 and for the description of 0. linki, the task of describing which was relegated to him 

 by Dr. Osborn, who determined it to be new to science. At the suggestion of Dr. 

 Osborn it has been decided to accompany each species with the name of the person 

 who identified it. Though these insects are not conspicuous, they play an impor- 

 tant role, and it is of interest to have even a partial list of the species which occur 

 upon the Isle of Pines, from which hitherto very few, if any, species have been re- 

 ported.
